Paradise Lost? Wesley Resident Fights Redevelopment
A year and a half ago, Don Carmignani and his wife, Bev, moved into an apartment in Wesley Gardens. Their home in SeaTac – which they had occupied for 43 years – was too much to maintain once Don was diagnosed with Parkinson's.
"At our age, it's very difficult to move," Carmignani said.
But it was ultimately worthwhile. According to a letter written by Carmignani, Wesley Gardens was "a peaceful, serene environment perfect for spending one's sunset years!"
Last November, Carmignani first received notice that they would need to move again. He did not receive a projected date for the move.
"We had no idea what they had in store for this," Carmignani said.
The move is part of Wesley Garden's extensive renovation plan, where the whole campus will be replaced.More ›

We were there the day after a 10-inch snowfall, having figured driving up from Chi-Town in blizzard conditions would be worth it for, dare I say it...a powder day in the Midwest. Got up early and caught the 3rd chair after the lift started spinning. The result- Cascade had GROOMED AWAY EVERY FLAKE OF POWDER. Unforgivable, even in the Midwest. And the trail called "Mogul Monster" was groomed as well- I really don't know how they're planning on letting moguls form.
Surprise, surprise...their stated vertical is misleading. The top quarter of the mountain consists of some really flat beginner terrain. From the top of the "black diamond" trails to the bottom of Cindy Pop lift you have about a 300ft drop. 300 is half-decent for the Midwest, but it's not the best either. Speaking of the Cindy Pop lift- does it make any sense that the lift that services the steepest, toughest trails runs as slow as your typical beginner lift? Takes 30 seconds to bomb your way down the over-groomed hill, then you ride back up at a snail's pace to do it again.
They COULD have some decent glades if they would thin out the woods between the trails, but I guess that would be letting us have too much fun.
What it IS good for- best place in the area to take a first-timer, because the bunny hill actually has chairlifts instead of "magic carpets" or tow-ropes. This is most helpful in teaching newbies how to use chairlifts, so take your kid there (under 12 skis free).
I really don't know how this is #2 is Wisconsin. Food is crazy expensive, and terrain is mediocre, even for the area. I doubt I'll be back unless I score a free ticket somewhere.

The U.S. and global economies have been caught in a slow-growth rut for
several years now, and with the rising concerns about decelerating gross
domestic product (GDP) gains in China, there's little reason to think
the pace of expansion will start climbing any time soon.
The steep and sudden devaluation of the Chinese yuan this week should
remove any remaining doubts that the world's major economies are engaged
in a currency war.
The problem isn't that China's defaulting on its debt. It's that the
country's once-runaway economic growth is flagging.
It seems the only predictable thing about the markets these days is
their unpredictability.
Beginning this week, we're moving into the heart of earnings season for
the second quarter of 2015. Whereas the early earnings numbers tend to
be concentrated in specific industries, all 10 of the Standard & Poor's
500 sectors will be represented in this week's reports. This widening
allows us to start identifying trends that may have a bearing on the
quarters ahead.

Hey guys,
I was testing out new themes on my self-hosted site. After trying out a few, I installed another one which made my whole site crash. I say crash because I can no longer log in nor can my site be viewed from the "outside".
I mailed my service provider and they aren't having any server issues. Just wondering if there's anything that can be done from WordPress' side to get the site up again?
It's for http://www.boringcapetownchick.com
I think I had Destro installed and was trying to install Summit Lite when it just wouldn't load. And now nothing loads. Thanks!

|Eagle Creek Golf Club -- Poor Maintenance
|Review by: Mike
|I play here on a regular basis as a guest. The maintenance for the greens and fairways leave much to be desired. It is often better to purposely hit to the rough and avoid playing out of the poor fairways. Holes are very far apart so a cart is recommended, even though the yardage is short, the walk between holes is not. However, on the up side, the new bermuda grass should prove to be a vast improvement once it gets all grown in.

Environmental factors in menopause have received limited attention. Lead is a known reproductive toxicant associated with delayed puberty in girls that may also affect menopause.
The odds of menopause among US women aged 45–55 were estimated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999–2010, in relation to quartiles of blood lead. Women still menstruating (n=2158) were compared to women with natural menopause (n=1063). Logistic regression models included age, race/ethnicity, current hormone use, poverty, smoking and where available, bone density or bone alkaline phosphatase.
Lead levels (ug/dL) were higher in menopausal women, geometric mean (standard error) = 1.71 (0.04) vs. 1.23 (0.02). Adjusted odds of menopause and 95% confidence intervals for lead quartiles (lowest quartile referent) were 1.7 (1.0–2.8), 2.1 (1.2–3.6), and 4.2 (2.5–7.0) respectively. Results adjusting for bone markers were generally similar but had less precision.
Blood lead was associated with natural menopause in US women even after adjustment for bone turnover. This raises concern that lead exposure, even at low levels, may shorten women's reproductive lifespan.
Lead is a reproductive toxicant(Mendola, Messer, and Rappazzo, 2008) associated with delayed puberty(Selevan, Rice, Hogan, Euling, Pfahles-Hutchens, and Bethel, 2003;Wu, Buck, and Mendola, 2003) and alterations in reproductive hormones in peripubertal girls(Gollenberg, Hediger, Lee, Himes, and Louis, 2010) and in healthy premenopausal women.(Krieg, Jr., 2007;Krieg, Jr. and Feng, 2011;Pollack, Schisterman, Goldman, Mumford, Albert, Jones, and Wactawski-Wende, 2011) Prior studies report higher lead levels in postmenopausal women but they often draw from populations with higher exposure than currently observed, either because the data reflect past higher general population levels (Silbergeld, Schwartz, and Mahaffey, 1988;Symanski and Hertz-Picciotto, 1995) or because they target women with high lead exposures.(Garrido, Hernandez-Avila, Tamayo, bores Medina, Aro, Palazuelos, and Hu, 2003;Popovic, McNeill, Chettle, Webber, Lee, and Kaye, 2005;Potula, Kleinbaum, and Kaye, 2006) Even given today's lower levels, evaluating lead exposure in relation to menopause is challenging because circulating levels are influenced by increased bone turnover, which begins in perimenopause and significantly increases in early menopause.(Rabinowitz, 1991;Nash, Magder, Sherwin, Rubin, and Silbergeld, 2004)
While evidence suggests that lead exposure is associated with earlier menopause both in occupational cohorts(Popovic et al., 2005) and primates,(Laughlin, Bowman, Franks, and Dierschke, 1987) there is a lack of data on this association in a nationally-representative sample of US women. Therefore, we examine the association of blood lead and menopause in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999 – 2010.
The NHANES is a nationally-representative sample of the non-institutionalized civilian US population.(National Center for Health Statistics, 2012) Beginning in 1999, the NHANES is a continuous survey which results in a nationally-representative sample every two years. This analysis is based on six two-year cycles (1999–2010) and data were collected similarly in each cycle except where noted. Women ≥12 years old are asked about menstrual cycling in the past 12 months and those over 20 are asked reasons for not having a period in the past year. Lead was measured in whole blood using atomic absorption spectrometry in 1999–2002 (limit of detection (LOD) <0.6 ug/dL) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in 2003–2010 (LOD <0.25 ug/dL).
We selected women aged 45–55 years to cover a range of ages where menopause is likely to occur.(Brett and Cooper, 2003) Menopause was dichotomized: women with at least one menstrual cycle in the past 12 months were categorized as "No" (n=1144) and those with natural menopause were "Yes" (n=638). As such, perimenopausal women are grouped with premenopausal in comparison to women who are postmenopausal. Women who reported no menstrual period due to medical, surgical or other reasons (n = 787) were excluded.
We attempted to consider the impact of bone turnover during the perimenopausal period by adjusting for biologic markers where available. Bone alkaline phosphatase, a marker of bone turnover, was available from 1999–2002 (n = 515). We also adjusted for bone mineral density measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, which was available in a comparable format for 2005–2008 (n = 541), to account for bone available for remodeling. Age, race/ethnicity and smoking were self-reported. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use was estimated based on self-reported use of estrogen containing pills or patches for menopause or menopausal symptoms. The poverty-to-income ratio was calculated based on family income and household composition relative to the poverty threshold.
The blood lead levels of women who were still menstruating are compared with women who reported a natural menopause. Quartiles of blood lead were based on all women in NHANES 1999–2010 aged 45–55. Logistic regression on menopausal status was adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, poverty and smoking. In separate models, we further adjusted for bone alkaline phosphatase in NHANES 1999–2002 and for femoral neck bone density in the 2005–2008 NHANES. Analyses were conducted in SAS (version 9.2) using SUDAAN (version 10.0) to account for the complex sampling design.
Lead levels (ug/dL) were higher in menopausal women (geometric mean (standard error (SE)) = 1.71 (0.04)) compared to women still menstruating (geometric mean (SE) = 1.23 (0.02)). As expected, postmenopausal women were older but they were also less likely to be below the poverty line (Table 1).
Lead levels were associated with higher odds of menopause (Table 2). Using Q1 as the reference, adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for Q2 through Q4 were 1.7(1.0–2.8), 2.1 (1.2–3.6), and 4.2 (2.5–7.0), respectively. While restriction to smaller subsamples with bone measures available decreased precision substantially, the overall relation between lead and menopause remained fairly similar. (Table 2).
We find that menopause is associated with blood lead measures in US women at midlife, independent of markers of bone turnover. These findings build on prior studies of pubertal development,(Selevan et al., 2003;Wu et al., 2003;Gollenberg et al., 2010) premenpausal hormone profiles,(Krieg, Jr., 2007;Krieg, Jr. et al., 2011) and studies of ovarian function,(Taupeau, Poupon, Treton, Brosse, Richard, and Machelon, 2003) to suggest that lead shortens the reproductive lifespan of women, even at the very low levels observed in the past decade in the US.
Prior research has generally framed an alternative question – whether bone turnover creates a period of high lead levels around the menopausal transition. The extant data support an affirmative answer to that question even with remaining issues related to variability on the timing of maximum lead levels during the menopausal transition(Hernandez-Avila, Villalpando, Palazuelos, Hu, Villalpando, and Martinez, 2000) and despite methodologic challenges such as small sample sizes,(Popovic et al., 2005;Potula et al., 2006) combining natural and surgical menopause,(Popovic et al., 2005) and examining a wide range of ages (e.g., women 20–85 years).(Symanski et al., 1995;Jackson, Cromer, and Panneerselvamm, 2010)
Our primary interest is whether or not exposure to lead shortens the reproductive lifespan of women by delaying puberty and accelerating reproductive senescence. To date, only one study has reported on the timing of natural menopause associated with lead exposure, where former smelter workers had an earlier age at menopause (43.7 years) compared to a referent group of unexposed women (51.8 years), but the sample size is small (16 exposed women and 20 unexposed with natural menopause) and the exposures were high.(Popovic et al., 2005) Our findings are consistent with this report, suggesting a relation between lead exposure, albeit at very reduced levels, and menopause in the general population.
Lead exposure has been associated with delayed puberty in girls (Selevan et al., 2003;Wu et al., 2003) possibly due to lower inhibin B, a marker for follicular development. (Gollenberg et al., 2010) Ovulatory function may be disturbed, with increased follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) after lead exposure(Krieg, Jr., 2007;Krieg, Jr. et al., 2011) (FSH is a key indicator of ovarian reserve(Sherman, West, and Korenman, 1976)) as well as a phase shift with later progesterone peak in premenopausal women.(Pollack et al., 2011) In addition, human ovarian granulosa cells retrieved from IVF candidates accumulated lead in culture and both messenger RNA and protein levels of cytochrome p450 and estrogen receptor beta(Taupeau et al., 2003) were reduced suggesting down regulation that interferes with follicular function. Lead may alter hormonal expression via effects to the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein gene.(Srivastava, Dearth, Hiney, Ramirez, Bratton, and Dees, 2004) Animal studies also show accumulation of lead in the ovary leading to altered folliculogenesis in mice (Taupeau, Poupon, Nome, and Lefevre, 2001)and longer, irregular cycles in exposed Rhesus monkeys. (Laughlin et al., 1987)
Despite a strong biologic rationale, longitudinal prospective data on this question are lacking. Approximately 95% of the body's lead burden is stored in the bone and the half-life of lead in blood in adults is 30–60 days.(Barry and Mossman, 1970) As such, current blood levels reflect overall body burden associated with long-term exposure as well as recent exposure and the release of lead from bone during periods of bone turnover. Periods of high bone turnover (pregnancy, lactation, menopause) are expected to correlate with a short-lived increase in blood lead(Silbergeld et al., 1988) but the magnitude of change is dependent on lifetime exposure and accumulation and these relations are not always observed. For example, a recent report on NHANES 2003–2008 finds significantly lower blood lead levels among pregnant women compared to their non-pregnant counterparts.(Jones, Parker, and Mendola, 2010) Previous studies using NHANES data to evaluate lead and puberty have dealt with the issue of equilibration between blood and bone,(Wu et al., 2003) since growth of long bones may sequester lead resulting in higher blood levels among shorter, pre-pubertal girls.(Selevan et al., 2003) We attempt to address this important issue by adjusting for bone mineral density as a measure of current bone stores available for remodeling and a direct marker of bone turnover, bone alkaline phosphatase, and by restricting our sample to a plausible window for the menopausal transition. We also grouped perimenopausal women (who have high rates of bone turnover(Machida, Sun, Oguma, and Kayama, 2009)) with premenopausal women to provide more conservative estimates.
We restricted our analysis to women who were still menstruating or naturally menopausal to limit recall and did not rely on age at menopause which was often missing, implausibly reported or reported in 5-year age ranges. We focused on women around the time of the menopausal transition (ages 45–55) in order to dampen the impact of bone turnover which begins in the perimenopausal years and accelerates in early menopause.(Silbergeld et al., 1988) Our analysis was limited by a substantial loss of precision in the subgroups with bone marker data available. Increasing the sample to include women aged 40 to 59 years provided similar results (data not shown). Given the wide confidence limits, the increased point estimates from 2005–2008 are likely due to chance since the levels of lead are somewhat lower than the earlier timeframes. However, no adjustments affected the odds of menopause associated with blood lead in a substantive way, particularly for the highest quartile of exposure. The finding is notable since the levels of lead observed in the current study are substantially lower (mean levels <2 ug/dL, 99th percentile = 6.7 ug/dL) than in prior studies and are well below the CDC level of concern (10 ug/dL).
All lead exposure is from external, environmental sources. We observed relatively low blood lead levels in this nationally-representative sample of US women at midlife, suggesting the lifetime accumulation of lead body burden in bone was generally low as well. Given that, and recognizing the limitations of this cross-sectional analysis, we nevertheless found a strong and consistent relation between blood lead levels and the odds of natural menopause.
These data suggest that lead exposure, even at low levels, are associated with reproductive senescence. Evidence from non-human primates provide support for this hypothesis as does the hormonal profile changes in prepubertal girls and premenopausal women. Longitudinal studies with repeated lead and hormone measures around the menopausal transition are needed to clarify these relations and determine the contribution of lead to earlier age at menopause.

1 million people sought for Alzheimer's study
Researchers are looking for one million participants to take a survey as part of an Alzheimer's study.
MindCrowd is the first research project to study millions of people by harnessing the power of the Internet. By taking a 10-minute online test, participants can help researchers gather clues into memory and other cognitive functions. It will help researchers better understand how a healthy brain works.
After testing one million people, researchers will pick a group to undergo more testing. The goal is to identify genetic markers linked to learning and memory to get closer to a cure for Alzheimer's.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
The convention is that most multi-word tags get a hyphen, except when they are names of things that don't have a hyphen in ordinary usage such as class names, library names, etc.
android-activity is a bit of a special case; we are strongly encouraging folks in the Android tag to use tags prefixed with Android, since activity, intent and other similar tags are hopelessly ambiguous.

My product has version numbers like major.minor.subminor. Various resources get templatized by the version, so that, say, 7.0.1 may define a message, and that may be used thru the 7.X line except for versions 7.2.3 and 7.2.8 which customize the message. 8.0.1 may then change the message.
I need to get the best matching version of the resources. That would be the last defined version if there was not an exact match, first by subminor, then by minor, then major.
I would think this is a fairly standard practice. Is this kind of a match best done (or even possible) with a regex, and if so, what would the regex be like? Or should I just go ahead and implement this algorithm?

I wonder why it is allowed to have different type of object reference? For example;
Animal cow = new Cow();
Can you please give an example where it is useful to use different type of object reference?
Cow extends Animal
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I wonder why it is allowed to have different type of object reference? For example;
Can you please give an example where it is useful to use different type of object reference?
This is at the heart of polymorphism and abstraction. For example, it means that I can write:
... and handle any kind of input stream, whether that's from a file, network, in-memory etc. Or likewise, if you've got a
The ability to treat an instance of a subclass as an instance of a superclass is called Liskov's Substitution Principle. It allows for loose coupling and code reuse.
Also read the Polymorphism part of the Java tutorial for more information.
On a simpler note, this enables polymorphism. For example you can have several objects that derive from Animal and all are handle similar.
You could have something like:
The Feed() method must then be overriden within each child class.
By the way, code is C#-like but concept is the same in Java.
This is basically a concept of standardization.
We know that each animal have some common features. Let us take an example of eating and sleeping, but each animal can have different way of eating or sleeping ... then we can define
Now you do not have to define different objects to different classes... just use Animal and call generally
This is called polymorphism and it's one of the most powerful aspects of Java.
Polymorphism allows you to treat different objects the same.
It's a great way to create re-usable, flexible code.
Unfortunately it's a part of Java that new programmers often take awhile to understand.
The example you've provided involves inheritance (extending a class).
Another way to enjoy the benefits of polymorphism is to use interfaces.
Different classes that implement the same interface can be treated the same:
Simply putting all
This is Polymorphism as others have pointed out. You can extend
In another class/method you might want to use different implementations of the same interface. Following your example, you might have something like:
Now you can implement the details in your animal classes and don't have to extend this method anytime you add a new animal to your programm.
So in some cases you need the common interface in order not to implement a method for each implementation, whereas on other occasions, you will need to use the explicit implementation.
This is an inheritance 101 question.
It allows objects that share common functionality to be treated alike.
I could probably ramble on for ages. Perhaps thus question is just too broad to answer here.

Since I don't know PHP very well yet, I'm thinking switching blogware.
How can I export my posts from WordPress into a text file of some sort?
Thanks in advance.
Since I don't know PHP very well yet, I'm thinking switching blogware.
How can I export my posts from WordPress into a text file of some sort?
Thanks in advance.
who said u need to know php to use WP?
There is WP backup script that makes a SQL dump with all your entries in there or you can do it by hand. Also check forums/features of the new blogging tool you are looking at ... may be they have a WP import, although unlikely.
Which tool were you thinking of switching to? I can't think of any that wouldn't be a step backwards from WordPress, except possibly Textpattern and thats still only in gamma.
Movable Type - since I know it so well.
It's just that I want to add things to my blog, and I can't figure out how to add them, whereas with MT I knew exactly what to do.
The only thing I can figure out if the style switcher.
I'm just overwhelmed, I guess and think that if I go back to MT, that I can blog and not worry about PHP errors and the such.
I even got one when trying to backup.
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'brvars.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /wp-admin/backupRestore.php on line 133
Well, I fixed the backup - but I don't think it will do me much good importing into MT.
I am sorry I am so late to this conversation, but what are the problems you are having?
I refuse to believe that you are able to "go back to MT, that I can blog and not worry about PHP errors and the such."
MT is a Perl monstrosity, and having tried to use it in the past I can't believe that you would find it easier to add and/or hack than WP.
Have you given the community a chance to help you with your problems?
I think u shld give the guy a chance. MT's tags are lot s lots more easier to understand. And at times... playing around with WP... has given me a fairly big headache.... The tags just arn't as easy to use and understand. (partly due to documentation... which i'll say is no fault of WP's. it's just well.. I don't know)
As far as I know... there's no export tool as yet..... and I don't think there's a IMPORT for sure.
However.. i sure would like an export tool... having a softcopy of all my entries will feel good... instead of just a sql backup. if u know what I mean.
I too agree that an export would be a good backup tool in addition to the sql backup. Sandman...if you can manage enough of the WP templates then you can create one that will put the WP entries into the import format for MT. The MT website has docs on the import format. Then from your browser, save the page, or in IE, view the source and save it out to your hard drive.
Maybe we should be realistic and accept that sometimes people will want a plaintext backup, need to move their blogs to another server or even revert to an older tool which for whatever reason they found easier to use.
What a great script! I'm having a slight problem with it using the latest version of WordPress. It will only spit out one entry and on further investigation seems to choke on the $prev_entry variable. Any hints on how to fix it?
Posted by: Tracey at April 6, 2004 12:43 AM
From the page of the backup script for the b2. erm. oh no?? haha
You would need to change every occurence of 'b2' in the code to 'wp_' to reflect the new table names, but I guess you already did that. I'll take a look and see what I can come up with.
I appreciate the advice, and it's been very helpful.
It's not that I am enamored by MT, it's just that I am intimidated by WordPress and the PHP.
I do not understand PHP or MySQL - but can follow directions enough to get a blog up and running - which I did.
I just don't know how to handle SQL Dumps, PHP errors, and the like.
I'm a newbie, and it sucks. Going back to MT would save me quite a few headaches, as I used it for almost 3 years.
I love WordPress, but I'm not sure I need to be putting all of my blogging into a system I don't understand. I've already lost everything once since I started with WP.
Thanks again.
Going back to MT from WP? I just moved *from* MT to WP! I don't understand Perl scripts. Hell, even experienced Perl programmers don't understand them within 6 months of writing them. I find PHP easier to read and understand. There are lots of books out there on PHP, and it is an ideal language for working with mySQL databases.
If backups are your problem and you don't want to write straight SQL scripts in order to get your data out, take a look at myPhpAdmin. It makes dealing with databases a *lot* easier. I just exported my entire WP database within a minute of realizing I should probably do it some time.
But of course, blogs are personal, so our choice of blog software will be too. So by all means choose what feels right to you.
Before landing on WP, I tried postNuke, Zope+Plone, coreblog, NewsBruizer, greymatter, MT, TextPattern, squishdot, Python Desktop Server.
I'd like to see a export entries option as well in WP.
Not that I plan on dumping WP, but for a couple of reasons...
One, the ability to start fresh with a clean install of WP and reimport only the entries...
Two, backup. Sure I can backup my MySQL db, but having a quick backup of all my entries in a text file that is a universal would aid in the long future of my content...
Maybe the RSS import option would do what is needed, just export all the entries to an .xml file and use the RSS import to bring them back in? Would this be robust enough??? And does anyone have templates for the RSS export of all entries with comments and all meta data?
I've been looking for some kind of export script as well. Back in the days when I used MT, the export into a text file was very convenient. It save the entries, comments, and all of the information -- hence, moving to WordPress was a breeze. I hope something will be created in the near future.
If you have phpmyadmin, simply export all your entries to an .sql file.
If you do not, then install the OneClickBackup plugin which will perform the same task.
Saving any images folders will then give you all the information you need to move tools.
As for "Why can't someone make a WP-MT import tool", the answer is anyone can, but the emphasis should not necessarily be on the devs to do that.
There's no need to "lock" anyone in to WordPress, it stands on its own merits. No one makes or loses money if you use WordPress or not. We do this because we love doing it. We don't have any propietary storage formats or obscufated code, anyone is free to do anything with the data they want, and they do. There are WordPress import tools for other systems (though they're all lossy at the moment). Also remember WordPress content is available through the same standard APIs (blogger, metaweblog) as everyone else.
An export function has been planned out and the code has been assigned to someone, and as far as I know he has been working on it. When everything is done you'll be able to export and import to RSS/Atom and to a custom lossless XML format.
Insinuations about the motivations of WP developers is uncalled for and not productive toward what we're all trying to do here: make WordPress better.
I'm glad I moved to WordPress, I'm just intimidated by the SQL database.
Thanks for all the hard work put into WP...I'm a happy user.
I can think of all sort of reasons why having the ability to Export from WordPress to the mt-import format is handy. It certainly saves time typing in entries when testing a design.
Hmm.. I'm having trouble with the script.. I'm getting a blank page. Any help? Thanks.
Can any-one throw me a life-line? Much appreciated!
what I just did is simply edit wp-rss2.php since I don´t use it anyway (lol too bad for people who do :P). Ofcourse I guess you could simply copy that file and then edit it. You can ofcourse change the way the output is made. Instead of some kind of XML you could make an output of for example normal HTML, it´s real easy. Then you can include it in any other PHP file, or simply link right to it.
Has anyone since then created an easy Export from WordPress plug in?
I'd like to switch hosting services but exporting SQL and restoring it doesn't look fun or easy. Switching hosts with MT was super easy!
I have a similar itch! I quickly need to export my individual posts into .doc or similar format so I can turn my online poetry blog into an offline document, suitable for book* publishing. Any help gratefully recieved.
*Yeah, I know. A book? How quaint...
You might want to take a look at what Khaled has done and is doing:
and the other posts there and the comments.
That's great thanks, I'm planning to do the LuLu thing also, it looks really good and easy to manage so I''l drop the guy a line and see how he got on. My main problem is that I've got 365 posts/poems to format and prepare. Not sure I'll stay sane if I have to cut and paste every one individually.
It's actually quite interesting to see that crossing back over to print is not as easy as you think it might be.
There is an WordPress Export plugin that exports to Movable Type or SQL and it works very well. For the 1.5 or older version go to the author's page
For a 2.0 version with added Export to XML and Export to Wikipedia functionality go here
What if my Blog is hosted on WordPress and I want to export the content including posts, comments and categories?
If you post is on wordpress.com, then currently you can only export posts, not comments. Matt has mentioned an exporter is near to release though.

Natural disasters like floods and bushfires are commonplace in Australia these days, but what isn't talked about are the experiences of people with disability during these emergencies.
Not Guilty: the Sydney Exoneration Project will see law and psychology students receive course credit to review cases with experts in forensic psychology and evidence.
A new innocence project at the University of Sydney will combine forensic psychology with legal expertise to investigate claims of wrongful conviction.
Undergraduate and postgraduate students in psychology and law can now apply to be supervised to review cases for individuals who have cleared a rigorous application process to have their conviction assessed.
"Not Guilty: The Sydney Exoneration Project ultimately seeks social justice for those in need," said Dr Celine Van Golde, its founder and director.
"Research shows eyewitness misidentification is by far the key cause of wrongful convictions, while other contributing factors can include false memories, false confessions, and laboratory error. The Sydney Exoneration Project applies forensic psychological research into memory and testimony to investigate these issues," said Dr Van Golde.
In the United States researchers estimate between 0.5 to five per cent of American convictions are recorded against innocent individuals.
However, there is currently no reliable national data on the prevalence of wrongful convictions across Australia. Without an independent body mandated with powers and resources to investigate wrongful convictions, they can be difficult to identify.
"Wrongful convictions happen in this country. But without any real mechanism to identify and address them, Australian legal systems are left without a clear picture and means of amending miscarriages of justice," said Associate Professor of Evidence and Proof and Sydney Exoneration Project supervisor, David Hamer.
In Britain, an independent Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) has the power to send or refer a case to an appeal court, if it determines a real possibility of a quashed conviction or reduced sentence. The CCRC's work leads to the overturning of around 20 miscarriages of justice a year.
Between 2007 and 2014 NSW had a DNA review panel, which failed to correct a single miscarriage of justice.
But it operated on a far more limited basis than the CCRC. It only considered the most serious cases and could only act where there still existed evidence capable of producing a DNA profile which would clear the defendant.
"There is a clear need in Australia for bodies like the CCRC with proper powers and resources to conduct investigations into possible wrongful convictions across the board. In the absence of a proper government body, innocence projects must attempt to fill the gap," said Associate Professor Hamer.
The Sydney Exoneration Project will consider cases where no DNA evidence is available, but where other evidence, such as eyewitness error and false confessions, can verify a person's innocence.
The project, which begins in March, will de-identify cases to protect victims and will publish its findings in scholarly journals.
Research into the outcomes of long-term incarceration on innocent individuals has identified negative health effects such as PTSD, depression and alcohol and substance dependence.
Natural disasters like floods and bushfires are commonplace in Australia these days, but what isn't talked about are the experiences of people with disability during these emergencies.

Childhood Aggressive Behavior Leads To Alcohol Abuse
Continual aggressive behavior from childhood through late adolescence is a significant predictor of adult alcohol use and abuse, a new University of Michigan study indicates.
In comparison to childhood and adolescent aggression, some variables often thought of as risk factors, such as problems in the family and parents' poor educational background, are weak predictors of children drinking alcohol later in life as adults, said the study's lead author Eric Dubow, an adjunct research scientist at U-M's Institute for Social Research.
"Impulsive, aggressive children seem to have an underlying personality characteristic that manifests itself in a range of later life problem behaviors, including alcohol use and abuse," Dubow said.
"Consequently, it is important for parents to recognize these as problems in their children that need attention. These children need to be taught how to inhibit their impulses and control themselves early in life," he said.
U-M researchers used data from the Columbia County Longitudinal Study, a 40-year project of the development of aggression and competence across generations. The study sampled third graders in Columbia County, NY in 1960, then age 8, until 2000 when they were age 48.
Data collected on the study's participants included measures of aggression, popularity, and IQ tests at age 8; assessment of aggression, popularity, depression and educational attainment at age 19; and reports of alcohol use and problem drinking at ages 30 and 48.
By age 30, men reported a higher frequency and quantity of alcohol use--on average approximately 2 to 4 times a week, 3 to 4 drinks per sitting--compared with females, who consumed alcohol on average once per week, 3 drinks per sitting.
However, at ages 30 and 48, both males and females who had been high on aggression earlier in life reported significantly more alcohol use and problems with alcohol. Participants were not asked to specify if the beverage was liquor, beer, or wine.
The study also found that two sets of variables traditionally viewed as protective factors in the development of problem behavior actually increased the likelihood of alcohol use or alcohol problems.

Eric Pincus: To be fair, I hear the union and the league are already negotiating to avoid a lockout, no guarantees of course
Lockout Rumors
In the last lockout in 2011, the NBA significantly cut into the National Basketball Players Association's share. The league managed to reduce the players' share of basketball related income (otherwise known as BRI) from 57 percent before the work stoppage to a band between 49 and 51 percent under the new CBA. That doesn't mean the league is satisfied, though. "They want one thing," said one player agent, referring to the owners. "They want a higher percentage than 50 percent [of BRI]. That's it."
But that cap jump and the artificial ceiling for max contracts meant plenty of players were given hefty contracts this summer simply because they could peg their demands to a max salary, and know multiple teams would give it to them. The most obvious example is Harrison Barnes, who went from being the fourth or fifth option with the Warriors to getting over $90 million guaranteed over the next four years on a max deal from the Dallas Mavericks. "If I was the owners, why wouldn't I want to stop this?" one talent evaluator asked.
If players like Curry and Durant could each command, say, $50 or $60 million per year instead of the $26.5 million and change Durant will earn next season on his maximum allowed salary, it would be difficult – if not impossible – for them to play together without agreeing to take gigantic pay cuts. Unlike many of the topics on this list, however, this one could gain some traction. Roberts has previously talked about the possibility of eliminating them, and with the union's executive committee now full of names like Chris Paul, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony — who all would likely command more than a maximum dollar amount in an open market — perhaps it's something they would be interested in pursuing.
In the '80s, Byron Scott, Big John Williams and Lester Conner frequented the Drew. In the '90s, Paul Pierce and Baron Davis were among those who took up the mantle. In the 2000s, Davis started bringing his buddies, though at that time, Tyronn Lue and Earl Watson were hardly household names. "We were like, 'That's it,'" Smiley recalled. "It sustained us and, tie a ribbon on it and let it go." Then, the 2011 lockout hit. Pros were left searching for competitive runs with NBA rules. Davis directed them to the Drew. The stars followed.
The 2011 lockout was about money, of course, but among the issues the NBA felt strongest was the idea of "competitive balance" — the notion that some franchises, because of the financial disparities between various markets, could not realistically compete for championships. And so the NBA pushed for, and ultimately got, relief for those teams on two tracks: a dramatic giveback — around $3 billion in salaries — from its players, along with an enhanced revenue sharing program between teams, that transferred significantly more money from the league's relative haves to its have nots. Almost five years later, those changes have not done much to impact competitive balance in the NBA.
In the last 40 seasons, only 10 teams have won even one championship, and three of those 10 — Portland, Washington and Seattle/OKC — won their championships more than three decades ago, in consecutive seasons — 1977, '78 and '79. None have won a championship since. Only seven teams have won a title since 1980. Seven. By contrast, since 1947, 23 different NFL teams have won championships. Of those 23 teams, 16 have won more than one title. Just in the Super Bowl era of the NFL — 50 years — there have been 19 different champions, led by the Pittsburgh Steelers, with six Lombardi trophies. Twelve NFL teams have won more than one Super Bowl. Since 1947, in Major League Baseball, 21 different teams have won World Series titles, led by the New York Yankees with 17. And of the 21 teams that have won a title during that time, 15 have won more than one title.

Scanjet G4050 Uninstall does not fully remove programs and Reinstall is not possible
I had a Scanjet G4050 working with my HP Pavilion PC on Vista 64 and was able to use it for several weeks before I started getting strange behaviour. I decided to uninstall the software with the intent of reinstalling it to see if that would work. The uninstall seemed to work okay. However when I went to reinstall the software from the oringinal CD, I asked for a custom install and the software told me that four of the six programs were already installed. These same programs, however are not listed in the control panel to be able to uninstall them. So I gather that the uninstall was not a successful uninstall even though it appeared to uninstall all the software. I have tried to fix this for several days without success and am looking for ideas on how to get the scanner back up so I can scan more pictures. Any suggestions on how to get a clean uninstall?
The driver is working okay and the scanner is recognized by the PC. So it is not a hardware issue. Strickly a software issue.
Any suggestions will be helpful.
Re: Scanjet G4050 Uninstall does not fully remove programs and Reinstall is not possible
Please check if you have Scrubber utility (scrubber.exe file) provided in the installation CD.
If available, then use this utility after uninstall is complete & computer is restarted once.
Generally executing the scubber utility may not show any prompt, but will work in the background.
If the above mentioned steps does not help, you may also check following HP web link for other useful tips:
You may also try to install in a different installation directory than previously used.

Most important season in West Ham history - Noble
West Ham captain Mark Noble has stressed the club have had a "great season" no matter what as they wait to see if it ends with a place in Europe, and has labelled the 2015-16 campaign "the most important in club history."
Victory on Sunday at Stoke in their season-ending Premier League game would have guaranteed Europa League football for the Hammers next term at the Olympic Stadium.
But after going 1-0 ahead, Slaven Bilic's men ended up losing 2-1, finishing seventh in the table and requiring Manchester United to beat Crystal Palace in Saturday's FA Cup final to give them a place in the continental competition.
Noble says the result has to be looked at in the bigger picture of the season overall as they prepare to leave the Boleyn Ground behind.
We have to take this result in context and that is we've had a great season. We have come on a long way.
I've always said this season was probably the most important in the club's history.
Moving stadiums we had to make sure we were a solid Premier League team and we did that midway through the season. We had a small chance at Champions League which was great, and now we just have to wait and see what happens in the cup final.

West Ham boss backs Antonio for England call
Slaven Bilic says in-form West Ham winger Michail Antonio should be considered for an England call-up.
The 26-year-old has enjoyed a fine debut season in the Barclays Premier League after arriving at Upton Park from Nottingham Forest last summer.
With Danny Welbeck ruled out of Euro 2016 through injury, Bilic feels England manager Roy Hodgson could do worse than check out the Hammers wideman.
"He's quality, the way he is playing, the big impact that he's had on our game and also on the Premier League," said the West Ham boss.
"I'm saying as his club manager he's scored some goals, he's made some assists, he's defending really well.
"Of course Roy Hodgson has got a good team, he's not struggling for names. England qualified with 10 out of 10 wins so it's very hard for some players to break in - somebody has got to get injured or somebody has to lose a place in his club long term.
"But if you ask me does he have enough to offer? Yeah, definitely. He's a player who when he's one against one, he's got pace, he's got strength, he's got the quality of going up and down, he's dangerous on goal. He's a great player for us.
"So does he have potential? Definitely."
West Ham boss Bilic condemns 'sick' sacking of Flores
Watford's decision to replace head coach Quique Sanchez Flores is "sick", according to his West Ham counterpart Slaven Bilic.
The Hornets announced on Friday that their Spanish boss will leave Vicarage Road at the end of what on the face of it has been a successful season for a newly-promoted Premier League club.
They are destined for a mid-table finish and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, beating holders Arsenal along the way. Yet that does not appear to be enough for owner Gino Pozzo, who has made a decision which Bilic strongly condemned.
"It's crazy," he said. "I'm sorry for Quique. It's completely wrong, they've had a fantastic season.
"As far as I know if someone had offered Watford that...before the season everyone predicted they were likely candidates to go down. Yet they were never in danger and until January or February they were in the top eight, or top 10.
"Add to that they play good football, and add to that they were in the semi-final of the FA Cup, beating Arsenal away.
"They had a great season, the place was buzzing, it was a season to be proud of. It says it's more important how you finish than how you start but it is nonsense for me. People say it's common in Europe, it's common in England, but it's completely wrong, it's sick."

Bilic: West Ham win was perfect goodbye to Boleyn
Slaven Bilic believes West Ham's final game at Upton Park ticked all the boxes as the hosts came from behind to beat Manchester United.
In what was an emotionally-charged game, headers from Michail Antonio and Winston Reid secured a 3-2 victory for the Hammers as they bade farewell to their home of 112 years ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium.
"It's a great night," he told Sky Sports.
"It's our history and it's not just a game. It's against them, (United) it's fighting for Europe and everything, a late night game - it couldn't be better.
"All the boxes you need to have a special kind of a game, it was tonight. All the boxes were there, Man United, late night....thriller, five goals....so brilliant."
"It was a special game, it was big, big pressure for us although we've had a great season and I told the guys 'however we finish the last couple of games, this season has been great for West Ham in terms of breaking a few records and everything'.
"We were till the end in a couple of competitions and battling for the Europa League and a good run in the FA Cup so it was good, very good or excellent, but we were under pressure.
"We didn't want to lose our last game at this fantastic stadium. We just wanted to win and this was a win of character."
